Notes

(1) Total taxation covers taxes on income, taxes on expenditure (including rates) and national insurance and health contributions. Death duties, which are regarded as taxes on capital, are excluded from the figures. The figures are based on those published in the National Income Blue Book for 1965.

(2) The personal sector includes unincorporated businesses as well as households. A small amount of tax paid by non-residents is included with that paid by the personal sector. Tax deducted by companies from their payments of dividends and interest is not regarded as falling on companies but on the recipients of the dividends and interest.
